APPLEBEE'S GRILL & BAR (IRONDEQUOIT)

1683 EAST RIDGE ROAD, ROCHESTER, NY 14622

Last inspected Sep 8, 2026

Official source: New York State Department of Health (health.ny.gov) · All data sources

Passed. Met health requirements at the latest inspection. Some health departments report pass/fail instead of letter grades.

This inspection record doesn’t carry an official letter grade — some health departments never issue one, and others (like NYC) post it after a grace period — so CleanPlate derived the status from the reported violation data. If the department posts an official grade, it replaces this automatically.
